Date Posted：02/17/2009 7:31 PMCopy HTML   Among the many sketches done over the years by Roscoe Misselhorn are boats of many kinds.  Reproduced here are a few of the old sternwheelers that plied the Mississippi, the Ohio and other rivers. Misselhorn attended the St. Louis School of Fine Arts-- Washington University and spent a number of years in commercial art. He did editorial cartoons for the Meyer-Both Syndicate in Chicago for eight years and his work has been reproduced in many magazines, among them the Ford Times and Highway Traveler, the Grayhound Bus Magazine, and in a number of books and portfolios.  He taught painting and drawing for Southern Illinois University-Carbondale for many years and designed several murals including one in the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and the City Hall of Sparta, Illinois. His work is in many public and private collections.  He continues to do art work, mostly for his own pleasure and hopes that these sketches will bring back some of the nostalgia connected with old riverboats.
